Research of recent decades confirms those hunches, and also expands the depth and dimension of knowledge about nature experiences and human health. Research social scientist and writer Dr. Kathleen Wolf will provide findings from a number of different studies, and how nature can be designed to boost community and individual resilience of mind and body.

No matter where you live in Washington, water conservation is an issue. Educator, consultant, and author Lisa Taylor will share how landscaping with native plants, rain gardens and cisterns help conserve and filter water and provide habitat for pollinators. She will show how small changes — for example, creating contours and rain gardens, and adding cisterns and rain barrels — can lead to big improvements in water quality and retention.
